Why is the '200 word compound sentence, so full of incongruous citations and repeated phrases that you cry in despair as you reread it' not taught as an essential component of the #academicwriting process?
Artists positioned as first responders to the climate crisis in #Groundswell - movements in #art and #territory. I'm proud to be part of this increadible survery of #artists and #activism opening at Araluen Arts Centre this weekend. #ClimateJustice araluenartscentre.nt.gov.au/…

"Place for me is the locus of desire" wrote Lucy Lippard Me too. In beautiful and troubling ways. So I'm very excited about the @RegionalArtsAus Regional Arts Assembly, connecting regional #artists for a whole year of conversations about #place. regionalarts.com.au/programs…
"It’s curious, in the chaos of conversations about what we ought to do to save the world, how seldom sheer modesty comes up — living smaller, staying closer, having less — especially for us in the ranks of the privileged" orionmagazine.org/article/th…

Sole traders, there is nothing you need to do for 'mutual' obligations. At all. Ignore your job agency unless they are helpful and make you feel good. #KnowYourRights

Our top economists are pushing for boosts to JobSeeker and investment in social housing over tax cuts. But will the government listen to them - or to their same old cronies promising their same old fake trickle-down benefits? 🤔 theconversation.com/top-econ…

Reading @valariekaur on how collective grief builds the connection we need in order to fight injustice, and am again humbled by the leadership of Yapa, who brought the community together to fight for #JusticeForWalker and reminded of the importance of continuing to show up.

Penalties are back starting today, 28 September. But it doesn't mean the fight to protect our rights and defend against bad job agency behaviour stops. Read + share this thread to see which 'mutual' obligations you do and don't have to agree to. #KnowYourRights

#RaisetheRateforGood puts stimulus in the hands of those who'll spend it AND keeps people *just* out of poverty. It a no brainer.
It is a devastating day for millions of Australians: - $750/fortnight cut for part time JobKeeper workers - $300/fortnight cut for full time JobKeeper workers - $300/fortnight cut to JobSeeker for unemployed With less $ to spend, less $ goes to local businesses.

This is an excellent thread on settler responsibility to do our own work in dismantling white supremacy. Thanks @keraoregan
I really need pākehā & abled allies to understand that when we call out oppression - like white supremacy and ableism - these things operate as systems. We’re not saying that you are horrible people, we’re asking you to recognise the oppressive systems you are upholding.
Cultivating our imagination is liberation work. We must tap in.

We have a bone to pick with you fellas called 'you are throwing 1,600,000 people into poverty based on anecdotal bullshit and invective', register your feelings about this cowardice at the numbers below. Let them know it's #PovertyDay and they'll be wearing that to the election.

As a very romantic but not particularly sexual solo person attracted to lots of different folks, ive often felt too/not enough straight and queer. Slowly learning, with the help of community, that its ok to love who and how I want.🌈💖
